The police log, reported in the Daily Telegraph, clearly shows him using the term ‘plebs’, a claim he had previously denied.

It shows that Mr Mitchell was demanding to use the main vehicle gate in order to leave Downing Street on his bike but was denied access by a female Pc.

He was told this was policy but Mr Mitchell initially refused to adhere to the regulations.

A colleague of the officer, who wrote the report, said: ‘After several refusals Mr Mitchell got off his bike and walked to the pedestrian gate with me after I again offered to open that for him.

‘There were several members of public present as is the norm opposite the pedestrian gate and as we neared it, Mr Mitchell said: “Best you learn your f****** place … you don’t run this f****** government … you’re f****** plebs.”‘

According to the report, Mr Mitchell then cycled off before being heard to say ‘you haven’t heard the last of this’.

David Cameron has already defied calls to hold an official investigation into the incident.

This is after talks were held between Sir Jeremy Heywood, the cabinet secretary, and Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Metropolitan police commissioner.
